Do you weigh yourself daily or weekly?

[gwenbfine 4]

I am 5 weeks post op. I've stuck to each phase of the diet. I just moved to pureed foods a week ago. I have lost weight each week and am down 60 pounds since March. However, for the past two days my weight has gone up a couple of pounds. My calories are below 800 calories a day, most days much less. Is yhis something to be concerned about?

If you are following your plan there is nothing to be concerned about. I weigh daily sometimes but only count my weekly weigh in which for me is sunday morning. Good luck!! Hang in there!

Heck no! You are doing great! If you stay on this forum very much, you will see the dreaded "3 week stall" talked about daily. I hit it at 2 weeks, others at 4 or 5 weeks. Just part of the process. I am a daily weigher but I will not allow the scales to dictate my day. Many suggest weighing yourself weekly. Just be sure you are getting your required amounts of Protein and Water and you will see the scales moving in the right direction before too long. Frustrating - yes! Lesson in patience and discipline - Yes! Just keep up your great work!

As long as you are following your plan, there are going to be normal fluctuations in your weight. Could be bloating from too much salt, hormonal changes, being backed up (poop)....who knows. It takes a lot to gain "real" weight at your point from just overeating. It's almost impossible, because you just can't eat enough to right now (unless your grazing like ALL DAY).

As long as you understand the scale will fluctuate when you weigh daily and you won't let it ruin your day by seeing it, then yes, by all means weigh daily. If you don't want to see them, weigh weekly.

9 months out and I weigh daily... morning and night. I like to, I don't know why... scale hasn't moved in a while, but I still do it anyway. don't sweat the up or down of a few pounds. our bodies vary greatly each day, even morning to evening can swing a couple pounds in either direction.

I had the band a week ago, and I plan to weigh myself only once a week.

I weigh daily and track it in MyFitnessPal. After using the restroom, sometimes I'll hop on the scale again to get a more accurate number. I haven't stressed over the number much, but I want all the datapoints I can get.

Daily...

I weigh in daily but only count it on Monday, if that makes any sense !

I weigh daily, can't help myself. Not sure if it's wise or not but I have to have self control in my food choices and to exercise, on this one, I give in to what I want.

Monthly. Otherwise I get scale obsessed and it makes me crazy. The good thing is I probably missed my 3 week stall because I only weigh once a month. Instead I try to focus on eating well and exercising daily.

I am on my knees bowing to you! I don't think I could do that! Wow! What discipline!
